Default Steering vibration

I noticed that steering wheel has a little vibration. Is this normal as the road roughness is being transmitted to the steering wheel? Maybe wheels need better high speed balancing? Any thoughts? The speed i was going was 75 to 85 MPH.

I notice this on some roads, much more than I do on others...FYI the car has about 700 miles on it.

Get your tires balanced. Ask for road force balancing if it's available. Should be about 50-70 bucks. Got mine road force balanced and no vibrations up to 135 so far. :D
